The treatment of psoriasis is based on medication and physiotherapy. Medical intervention most often begins with the use of various ointments and solutions for external use. The key to successful treatment is also properly selected vitamin complexes. Fried and smoked foods are usually excluded from the patient's diet. To combat psoriasis, various procedures are very effective, which are most often proposed to be carried out in sanatorium conditions.
The sanatorium should be treated during remission (a period characterized by the absence of exacerbations). One of the most effective methods of treating psoriasis in sanatorium-resort conditions is mud therapy, hydrogen sulfide baths, mineral water therapy. Equally important are also such methods as sunbathing, a long stay in the fresh air, hardware physiotherapy and psychotherapeutic method.
